Friko have announced a new album, aptly titled Something Worth Waiting For. The follow-up to 2024’s Where we’ve been, Where we go from here arrives April 24 via ATO Records, and the wistful yet breezy lead single, ‘Seven Degrees’, is out now. Check it out below, and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist.
“For a long time I thought the saying was ‘seven degrees of separation’ and not ‘six,’” vocalist/guitarist Niko Kapetan explained in a statement. “There’s a lightness to that song but really it’s about connection, and trying to stay close to the people you care about.”
The Chicago band worked on the ne reocrd with producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Mannequin Pussy, Mogwai, Angel Olsen) and recorded at his Los Angeles studio. “On our first record we were much more involved in the technical aspect of everything, but this time John made it clear that he wanted us to just come in and do our thing,” drummer Bailey Minzenberger said. “I think that allowed us to let go in a way that we never had before, and because of that we captured something very raw.”
